    No need for a brand. He has already been branded with the Cobre Loma brand (our friend's ranch).

    But we did decide to do this right rather than trying to cheap out on it. I have my fence guy coming out this weekend to give me an estimate on fencing off about 3 acres and putting in a catch pen. That will be good because I do not have any plans for that land and own it basically to prevent anybody else from buying it and building on it. It is perfect pasture land and only about 75 yards from the house. So I can get water to it without much hassle at all. Getting started this year, I'll probably run a hose just in the interest of saving time, but I will need to get a water line buried to it at some point.

    Yes it is! And the new pasture is all fenced off and we even have a nice 40X50 foot catch pen for him! All that is left is to get a water trough.

    FYI, around these parts a mixed quarter will run between $400 to $500, depending on hanging weight, that also includes cutting, wrapping and freezing.....

    The steer will be here early this week. We are not sure which day exactly, but I am sure it will be here by Wednesday.

    In the meantime, a neighbor stopped by with about 1000 pounds of corn for free!!! I am not sure where Leroy comes up with all of this stuff and I have learned not to ask. But...

    That's a really good friend! At the least you'll pay 5 bucks for 50lbs here. I don't remember how much out of the field. We only feed corn in the cold weather, but that's just with the horses, cause it raises their blood pressure to help keep them warm. I don't know about the cows. Of course we'd top out the pigs with straight corn for about a month before slaughter.
    I do know, and you probably do too, that rats will eat through the plastic barrels. Wooden bins are good, better if you can wrap some valley tin around the bottom. Not treated lumber tho unless you can line the interior too. You wont get any sweating with the wood, like metal drums in hotter weather. Food for thought.
    Keep us posted.
